The wake behind a water vessel may be enhanced for wake boarding or water skiing by providing a fluid fillable chair in the rear of the water vessel to act as ballast so as to increase the wake of the water vessel. As the water vessel moves through the water, the towed individual experiences an increased wake, thereby improving enjoyment of the activity. In a preferred embodiment, the chair of the present invention includes a seat portion and a back portion and wherein the seat portion is adapted to be filled with a volume of water. The back may be filled with water or air. By filling at least the seat portion with water, the weight of the chair is increased such that when the chair is positioned in the rear portion of a boat, a relatively large wake may be created as the boat moves through a body of water.

The assembly of claim 4 comprising two or more triangular rebar reinforcements embedded at different position along the longitudinal axis of each simulated log. 6. The assembly of claim 4 comprising three simulated logs connected in a close triangular arrangement between exposed corners of the rebar triangles in each simulated log. 7. The assembly of claim 4 wherein the concrete is colored to simulate the color of a natural log. 8. A method for forming a large-woody-debris assembly comprising: (a) forming two or more cast-concrete simulated logs, each having a longitudinal axis and an outside surface simulating a natural log appearance, and each having at least one triangular rebar reinforcement embedded in the concrete in a plane at substantially a right angle to the longitudinal axis, with corners of the triangular rebar exposed at the outside surface; and (b) connecting the two or more simulated logs to one another between corners of the rebar triangles on each log. 9. The method of claim 8 wherein, in step (a), three logs are formed, each having two or more triangular rebar reinforcements spaced along the longitudinal axis, and in step (b) the three logs are assembled into a close triangular grouping by connection between the rebar corners.
